In Passage, Amanda Onchulenko captures the warmth and vitality of summer through a landscape shaped by memory and imagination. Created as an antidote to the chill of a Manitoba winter, the painting began with a blush of warm pink and evolved through layers of colour and gestural marks. Poppies, a recurring inspiration in her work, suggest movement, resilience and beauty. Find it at Pulse Gallery.
Amanda Onchulenko
Australian-born, Winnipeg-based artist Amanda Onchulenko has maintained a studio practice since 2001, creating vibrant abstract landscapes where bold colour and expressive mark-making evoke a sense of place rather than define it. Inspired by the light and nature of her two homes, she approaches each painting as a journey, allowing layers, intuition and process to reveal the story as it unfolds.
